Natalie Holland, ERYT 500, Teacher Trainer
Natalie Holland is both an ERYT 500 and a Pilates Instructor with a BS in Nutrition and an MsEd in Science Education specializing in helping others move and care for their bodies in healthy ways. She has over a decade of experience teaching mindful movement. Though always interested in wellness, Natalie's passion for arming others with health and healing information was fueled by a breast cancer diagnosis in her 30s. A long series of surgeries, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and hospitalizations left her feeling physically wrecked, emotionally & spiritually unsettled, and like a stranger in her own body. Yoga became a powerful conduit for healing, and it illuminated a path back home to her body. Natalie loves using mindful movement, nutrition education, and self-care techniques to help others create sustainable wellness in their lives. She believes that yoga is truly for everyone, and she is adept at adapting practices to meet students’ unique needs to help them find that balance of effort and ease.
